A wild, blackly funny, brilliantly twisty literary-crime novel, like an unholy coming together of Tana French and the Cohen brothers.

Sometimes your ancestors breathe through you. Sometimes, they call for vengeance... Babs Dionne, doting grandmother, and vicious crime matriarch, rules her small town with an iron fist. She controls the flow of drugs with the help of her loyal lieutenants, girlfriends since they were teenagers, and her eldest daughter, Lori, a former soldier struggling with addiction. When a drug kingpin discovers that his numbers are down in this one town, he sends a malevolent force, known only as The Man, to investigate. At the same time, Babs's youngest daughter, Sis, has gone missing, which doesn't seem at all like a coincidence. In twenty-four hours, Sis will be found dead, and the whole town will seek shelter from Babs's wrath... The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne is a crime saga like no other, with a ferocious matriarch at its bruised, beating heart. With sharp wit and profound empathy, award-winning author Ron Currie, delivers an unforgettable novel exploring love, retribution, and the ancestral roots that both nurture and trap us.

Babs Dionne

The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne

Essex Wives

Originally published as a series of sketches in Harper's Bazaar magazine, Loos' debut novel was an instant success that popularised the tropes of the 'dumb blonde' and the 'gold-digger'; we follow Lorelei, a young blonde flapper, through a series of diary entries as she and her friend Dorothy take an extravagant trip across Europe. Lorelei involves herself with various men, seeing them only as entertainment and the means to increasing her jewellery collection - whereas Dorothy is more romantically inclined (much to Lorelei's chagrin). The way that their exploits are told in Lorelei's distinctive narrative voice and the imaginative writing techniques used by Loos form the heart of the novel, coming together to create a timeless comedic tone that will connect with contemporary and modern readers alike.

The Illuminating Diary of a Professional Lady

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

A transgressive, lyrical and deeply moving literary debut about forbidden gay love in Iran

Anjir and Zal have been together ever since they first knew what love was. But living in Iran, the two men must keep their relationship hidden, potentially on pain of death.
 
 When Zal gets attacked after being caught with another man in public, Anjir is heartbroken by the betrayal but chooses to forgive as the pair formulate a plan for the future. The Iranian government will partially pay for a trans person's gender-confirming surgeries and Anjir, who's always identified with the mythical gender-changing Tiresias, will become a woman. Together they can move away from Tehran for a fresh start as husband and wife.
  
 Then Zal vanishes, leaving only a cryptic note behind. Anjir embarks on a quest through the queer underground of Tehran in search for the other man, hoping he will lead him to Zal. But someone is tailing Anjir too and the further into Zal's secrets he delves, the more he suspects that further violence may soon be necessary.
 
 A queer noir-infused love story of violence, vengeance and desire, Medusa of the Roses is a  provocative, propulsive novel with the wild intensity of a fever dream.

'A powerful debut ... unflinching and bold' Observer

Medusa of the Roses

A stirring exploration of war, race and belonging from the Nobel-prize winning author of Beloved. An angry and self-loathing veteran of the Korean War, Frank Money finds himself back in racist America after enduring trauma on the front lines that left him with more than just physical scars. As Frank revisits the memories from childhood and the war that leave him questioning his shattered sense of self, he unearths the courage he thought he'd lost forever. It is with incantatory power that Morrison's language reveals an apparently defeated man finding his manhood - and, finally, his home. 'No other writer in my lifetime, or perhaps ever, has married so completely an understanding of the structures of power with knowledge of the human heart' Kamila Shamsie, GuardianWinner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction

A House in Sicily

A saga of young hands at a silk-making facility, a gripping tale of hope, friendship and loss.

In southern India, in 1992, silkworms feed on Mulberry leaves and spin cocoons of silk. Six days a week, twelve hours a day, fourteen-year-old Manju and his friend Shiva toil in the brutal confines of the Factory, which runs under the merciless leadership of Pandu. Lives improve for the two boys when they cross paths with Sunil, a city-bred lad whose family owns the silk business. Sunil, who is battling his own demons, finds unexpected comfort in the company of his new-found friends. However, menacing currents within the Factory continue to simmer under the surface, and things rapidly come to a head. Little Hands of Silk is a novel of loss—loss of empathy, of innocence, of life itself, but it’s also a tale of hope and friendship that blooms as an antidote to the surrounding evil.
